§ Mrs. Anne CampbellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made since 28 November 1991 in implementing European Community Directive 89/618/Euratom in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythI have been asked to reply.
Following public consultation by the Health and Safety Commission which ended on 28 February 1992, final proposals for regulations implementing European Community directive 89/618/Euratom were approved by the HSC on 7 July. These proposals were then communicated to the European Commission, as required by article 33 of the Euratom treaty. The European Commission recommendations on these proposals have now been received and arrangements are in hand for making the implementing regulations and laying them before Parliament.
